As many have written about before me, the NFL is quite protective of its rights in the SUPER BOWL trademark, so much so that some think it has earned the pejorative "trademark bully" label, so I spilled a little digital ink on the topic last year:
This year, given the brotherly Harbaugh coaching match-up for the Big Game – depicted below (but, not this Big Game), the NFL has widened its SUPER BOWL trademark enforcement net even more to thwart another's trademark ownership of the coined term HARBOWL:
Associated Press via Yahoo! Sports
It is not clear to me who is responsible for coining the term HARBOWL (perhaps a sports writer in 2012), but there is no question that a man from Indiana named Roy Fox was the first to file a federal intent-to-use trademark application for HARBOWL, in fact, he filed it about a year ago on February 21, 2012:
"Right before the conference championship games last year, I thought to myself, 'Can you imagine if these guys played each other?'" Fox told ESPN.com. "If Pat Riley would go through the trouble of trademarking three-peat, why shouldn't I try this?"
Apparently Legal Zoom didn't whisper this answer into Mr. Fox's ear: "Because the NFL will get in your way!" Sure enough, the NFL caught wind and filed extensions of time to oppose registration of the HARBOWL mark, and before needing to formally oppose, NFL attorneys apparently convinced Mr. Fox to expressly abandon the application (without any compensation or reimbursement), despite the reported view that this would be a rather weak trademark opposition. It also has been reported that counsel for the NFL wrote to Mr. Fox:
"If you are still interested in resolving this matter amicably and abandoning your trademark application, please contact me as soon as possible," NFL Assistant Counsel . . . wrote to Mr. Fox in October. She warned that otherwise, the NFL "will be forced to file an opposition proceeding and to seek the recoupment of our costs from you."
To the extent, this is an accurate quote from counsel for the NFL, exactly how did the NFL plan to recoup its costs in filing and pursuing an opposition when it is black letter law that monetary relief is not available in TTAB opposition proceedings? This was clearly an empty threat. Nevertheless, Mr. Fox complied and formally abandoned the applications. So, might this be the end of the HARBOWL trademark story?
Apparently not, just days ago, another pair of entrepreneurs lined up for their own personal dance with the NFL: (1) Tom Cohen, from Rockville, Maryland, who filed his HARBOWL intent-to-use trademark application on January 20, 2013, and (2) Andrew Shulstad, from Charlotte, North Carolina, who filed his application a day later. Interestingly, the guy who founded Trademarkia is representing the fellow from North Carolina.
Notably, the neither the NFL nor the Harbaugh coaches have sought to register HARBOWL as a trademark — will anyone care a year from now? Anyone predicting HARBOWL II?

Frederic "Fred" C. Hamilton, an internationally known pioneer in the oil and gas industry, has been named Citizen of the West for 2014 and will be honored at a Jan. 13 dinner that raises money for the National Western Scholarship Trust.
"Fred Hamilton is exactly the type of person for whom this award was created," said Gov. John Hickenlooper. "He personifies so much of what is great about the West, particularly as a pioneer in the energy industry and benefactor for the arts."
A native of Columbus, Ohio, who grew up in Springfield, Ill., Hamilton joined the Army after leaving Babson College in the late 1940s, and then went to work in the Texas oil fields.
With a $5,000 loan from their mother, Hamilton and his brother, Ferris, started Hamilton Brothers Oil Co., which in 1962 discovered Edson Field in Canada with its recoverable gas reserves of 2 trillion cubic feet. The company also designed, built and used the first drilling rig transportable by helicopter, as well as the world's first floating production system.
Today, Hamilton chairs the Hamilton Groups, with holdings that range from natural resources to real estate and venture capital.
Hamilton is also a noted philanthropist. He chaired the Denver Art Museum board of directors for 20 years and has led two of the museum's major endowment campaigns.

The world the film describes is so vividly realized that it seems to spill over the edges of the frame, as if the lives of its characters will continue after the credits roll.
Moreover, the story doesn't climax in all's-well-that-ends-well matrimony, instead building to a beautifully bittersweet moment of self-realization, one with a light-touch profundity that would make the Bard proud.
Jul 12, 2013What results is a film that takes on the vicissitudes of life and love with honest concern, but also with a shrug of the shoulders — a movie that leaves us with a smile on our faces but also more than a few thoughts in our heads.
Mar 18, 2013In essentially offering up The Twelfth Night as a hazy Shakespearean mash-up, Viola isn't so much deeply disrespecting notions of ownership, authorship, etc., as charitably redefining them.

First published in 1956, Allen Ginsberg's Howl is a prophetic masterpiece--an epic raging against dehumanizing society that overcame censorship trials and obscenity charges to become one of the most widely read poems of the century.
Now a major motion picture, starring James Franco, Howl was directed by two-time Academy Award-winners Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman, who hired Eric Drooker to animate the poem. Howl: A Graphic Novel visualizes the poem--stanza by stanza--with animation art Drooker designed for the film.

Music/Lyrics: Hendrix
Vocals: Trey
Original Artist: Jimi Hendrix Experience
Original Album: Rainbow Bridge (1971)
Albums: Hampton/Winston-Salem '97
Debut: 1997-06-13
Historian: Chris Bertolet (bertoletdown)
1971's Rainbow Bridge was the first of two Hendrix albums compiled by MCA Records after Jimi's untimely death. In 1997, after winning a legal battle with MCA over rights to the iconic guitarist's works, his family released their own posthumous favorites under the title First Rays of the New Rising Sun. It's a tribute to "Izabella" that the song made the cut for both. The song's narrator is a soldier longing to return home to his love, the tune's namesake, so he can hold her instead of his rifle.
Though her name is spelled with an "s" instead of a "z," conventional Phish lore suggests that Trey chose the cover as a fatherly nod to his infant daughter. He and Mike road-tested the song on 5/21/97 at Club Toast with New York! (a one-off collaboration with several Burlington musicians), but Phish debuted "Izabella" before an intimate crowd at Bradstock. Soon thereafter – on 6/13/97 – it saw its first public performance in Ireland, one of the few Western European countries where Hendrix never performed. To the obvious delight of the Dublin crowd, "Izabella" arose from the jammed-out "Stand" encore.
While Phish's instrumental reading of this propulsive tune is pretty faithful to the original, Trey's vocals typically consist of the same verse sung twice or thrice with a varying degree of accuracy. Check out the volcanic version that erupts from "Tweezer" in the 12/6/97 jam-a-thon at Auburn Hills, MI.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Izabella"

Puppy is a supporting character that appeared in various episodes of the Smurfs cartoon show from Season 5 to Season 8, and also appeared in a few comic book stories. Originally named Homni-One, he was a thousand-year-old dog who remained young due to the magic locket he wears on his dog collar -- a locket that only one person can safely open without getting zapped by a bolt of lightning, which turns out to be Baby Smurf (It is uncertain what exactly is contained in the locket, besides it simply being called "the key to all magic"). He was originally Homnibus' pet dog whom he gave to the Smurfs as a gift, who remained a loyal pet to them as long as he lived. He is usually seen with the Smurflings giving them rides and playing with them. Puppy and Baby became best friends.
His character was voiced by Frank Welker and Russi Taylor.

I deleted the desktop icon as suggested, realised I could still work with IE through All Programmes. I made a new IE desktop icon. When I click on this new icon everything is AOK When I restore the old icon I am back to add ons disabled. Do you think if I use the new icon and delete the old one every thing will be alright and the add ons are all correct. Some one tried to help me the other week and deleted some of my add ons but still couldn't sort out the problem. By doing what has been suggested and deleting the IE desktop icon and making a new one I am not getting the message saying add ons are disabled. Do you think this problem as been solved

1st spring No you are not using IE with no add-ons, you would get the popup to tell you if you were. And you would not have the spellchecker under Tools and other addons to use.
You have fixed the shortcut now and it is working okay.

Kendall Jenner has still not gotten over her little fling with Harry Styles, it seems. Jenner was on stage to introduce Aussie band "5 Seconds of Summer" at the Sunday night Billboard Music Awards but the 18-year-old was left embarrassed when she accidentally began to introduce rival band "One Direction" instead. "And now we welcome, one..." Kendall blurted before catching herself, and adding quickly "I'm the worst reader!"
Kendall did not introduce the band at all! The 18-year-old however looked sexy and stylish as she walked the red carpet in tight black leather pants and a white backless top with her equally stylish little sister Kylie Jenner. Kendall showed a bit of a side boob too in her white top. Younger sister Kylie grabbed attention by showing off her newly dyed green hair and ample cleavage.
Kendall, who has successfully walked ramp for Marc Jacobs sometime back, however showed that she can be really nervous on stage where speaking is concerned.
Later, the step sister of Kim Kardashian also went on Twitter to explain her side of story putting the blame entirely on her contact lenses! "Anndddd as if I wasn't nervous already!!!! #NeverLeavinMyContactsAtHomeAgain! #LOL #LessonLearned," Kendall wrote on her Twitter timeline. But it was already too late. #Kendallyouhadonejob started trending on Twitter.
The reality television star from "Keeping Up With The Kardashian" has become the subject of jokes and satire over the social media.
"And now we welcome one-Sorry guys I'm the worst reader" That's why you stay in school kids #kendallyouhadonejob," said a Twitter user @ashtonpassion referring to Kendall's goof-up.
"She blamed the prompter, blamed her "reading skills" and now her contacts? What next? Lol just face it bc ... #kendallyouhadonejob," writes another Twitter user @Lexus_Robbles about Kendall Jenner's blame game.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner are expected to co-host the upcoming Much Music Awards in Canada on June 15, it has been revealed. Kylie tweeted the information over the weekend from her Twitter account.
"So excited!!! We're co-hosting the MUCH MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS in Canada on June 15," Kylie Jenner said in a Tweet over the weekend, which can be read here. However, after the recent teleprompter goof-up of Kendall Jenner, the organizers of the Much Music Awards should reconsider their choice?
Meanwhile, check out Kylie and Kendall Jenner's glamorous pictures from the Billboard Music Awards in the slideshow above.

Conclusion Modernism gradually saw authority begin to shift from religion, which considered homosexuality a sin, to psychology, which early saw homosexuality as an illness. Ironically, the arts and their cultures were moving in opposite directions. The literature of modernism moved boldly, occasionally stridently, and at most times favorably toward serious treatment of homosexuals and homosexual cultures, striking out against sexual repressions in many forms while the cultures were preparing the way for suppression, even destruction, of the same individuals and subcultures. The socially conscious, activist authors began to displace modernism as early as the 1930s, and in their agendas for reshaping civilization and making the world anew gays and lesbians and their literature were once more emphatically marginalized and, in some countries, silenced.

Hemmings Great Race rolls into Peoria
Peoria hosted nearly 100 antique rally car drivers, and several hundred spectators Monday at the Gateway Building. Peoria Public Radio's Daryl Scott reports the 2013 Hemmings Great Race took their lunch stop on the riverfront.
Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis, and the Elite Pulses of Hope drumline welcomed the racers, including rookie Brad Epple, who says his first three days behind the wheel of his 1965 Corvette have gone without a hitch.
"We're doing pretty good, keeping our times up and as of last night we were lead in the rookies. Number one rookies out of 30 some rookies, 31st out of 99 cars."
Drivers and navigators compete in the annual road rally based on time and route precision rather than speed. Points are awarded to those who carefully follow written directions. Electronic navigation is prohibited. After a brief the Peoria lunch stop and chance to make minor repairs, drivers headed up Main Street on their way to an overnight stop in Hannibal, Missouri. The Great Race ends Sunday in Mobile Alabama.

Heart failure means the heart's pumping power is weaker than normal. Remember the word EDEMA (which means swelling of tissues; edema can be a symptom that your heart failure is worsening). The word EDEMA will help you recall important activities to manage your heart failure
Exercise Regularly. Ask your doctor what type of exercise is best for you. At minimum, exercise by walking a total of 30 minutes a day (include rest intervals as needed), 5 to 6 days a week.
Do Take Your Medications as Prescribed. Keep a list of your medications and bring the list with you to all appointments. Do not stop taking or change medications until you speak with your doctor. Suddenly stopping your medications can make your condition worse.
Enroll in a Stop Smoking Program - if you smoke. For a person with heart failure, smoking and using tobacco causes your blood pressure to rise and increases your risk for heart disease.
Monitor Your Weight and Fluid Intake Daily. Weigh yourself daily at the same time everyday, even if you feel fine and do not have symptoms. Call your doctor if you gain 2 pounds in a day or 5 pounds in a week. Keep a record of daily fluid intake, especially if you are thirsty and are drinking a lot. A general fluid intake goal is 2 liters of fluids or less per day.
Avoid Salt (sodium) - Following a 2000-milligram sodium diet helps control high blood pressure (hypertension), swelling and water build-up (edema), decreases breathing problems and may also help reduce heart failure progression and re-hospitalization.
Keep Follow-Up Appointments. Regularly see your doctor or health care provider as recommended. These follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor your health, your heart's response to medications, and address any concerns you may have.

Selected and with an Introduction by: Joyce Carol Oates Publisher: Ecco PressYear: 1996Length: 94 pagesPreview: Google
Emily Dickinson saw fewer than twenty of her 1,775 poems published during her lifetime: when she died in 1886, her obscurity as a poet was nearly total. Now widely recognized as one of the great American poets of the nineteenth century, she is one of a handful from any period whose enduring stature in the world of letters is matched by the loyal affection of generation after generation of readers.
In this distinguished addition to The Essential Poets series, Joyce Carol Oates presents a "personal—yet not private" collection of Dickinson favorites, selecting from relatively obscure works as well as better-known poems to illuminate Dickinson's often unacknowledged range. Oates takes care to introduce us to the poet's subversive playfulness; to her rebellious nature and radical aesthetic; to her gender-bending personae and surprisingly wicked humor.
At the heart of this collection, of course, stands the work that made Dickinson's reputation as one of America's great visionary poets: an artist who has written with stoic control and astonishing lucidity about the soul's darkest, most terrifying hours.
A concise and illuminating introduction to the work of an essential poet, The Essential Dickinson is also an extraordinary tribute from one remarkable woman and writer to another. It confirms once again that great art endures, in Auden's striking phrase, "in the guts of the living."
Between them, our great visionary poets of the American nineteenth century, Emily Dickinson (1834-1886) and Walt Whitman (1819-1892), have come to represent the extreme, idiosyncratic poles of the American psyche: the intensely inward, private, elliptical and "mystical" (Dickinson); and the robustly outward-looking, public, rhapsodic and "mystical" (Whitman). One declared: "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" The other declared: "Walt Whitman, an American, one of the roughs, a kosmos . . . " Both were poets whose commitment to poetry was absolute and uncompromising, and whose unconventional lives were so arranged that poetry, "the Soul at the White Heat" (Dickinson, 365, ca. 1862), took primacy over all else. (Neither married, for instance, and though Whitman may have boasted of progeny, there are no Whitman children on record. Emily Dickinson was surely celibate through her sequestered life.) When Dickinson died at the age of fifty-five, of Bright's disease, she had lived almost exclusively in her father's house (as she spoke of it) near a busy thoroughfare in the rural town of Amherst, Massachusetts, as a perpetual daughter of the well-to-do household who did not chafe at, but on the contrary celebrated, what she called "the Infinite Power of Home." If it seems almost too symbolically apt that the one great visionary is a woman and the other a man, and that each seems to have wished to promulgate an exaggeration of gender-type (the virgin, the "rough"), it should be emphasized that Dickinson frequently employs a seemingly masculine persona, and most of her poems transcend gender; Whitman is proudly "masculine"yet his most subtle poems are suffused with an androgynous, even "feminine" sensibility. Dickinson and Whitman can be said to embrace the American cosmos, and their luminous poetry, misunderstood and even repudiated in the poets' lifetimes, possesses a remarkable contemporaneity in our own.
Though it was known among her family and friends that Emily Dickinson had written poems much of her life, the size of the cache discovered by her sister Vinnie after Dickinson's death astonished everyone: 1,775 poems of varying degrees of completeness and legibility, some of them scribbled on the backs of bills. (It was Dickinson's practice to write on scraps of paper that accumulated in her apron pockets during the course of a day, to be artfully assembled at night in the privacy of her room.) So considerable is the poet's posthumous fame that it comes as a revelation to many readers that Dickinson published fewer than twenty poems during her lifetime. Her obscurity as a poet at the time of her death surpassed even that of William Blake, the enigmatic purity of whose Songs of Innocence and of Experience suggests a kinship with Dickinson's work. Like the visionary Blake, long considered an eccentric, if not a madman, in the world's eyes, Dickinson was fascinated with the seductive inferiority of the imagination: "Within is so wild a place," Dickinson declares. And, in language and imagery Blake would have understood:
Much Madness is divinest Sense To a discerning Eye Much sensethe starkest Madness 'Tis the Majority In this, as AII, prevail (435, ca. 1862)
Contrary to popular legend, Emily Dickinson was by no means an absolute recluse; she frequently saw a number of Amherst friends and neighbors, participated in a busy household and maintained friendly relations with several distinguished literary men of the day, two of whom were associated with the Springfield Daily Republican, a newspaper of national reputation. The third, T. W. Higginson, a writer for Atlantic Monthly, has had the misfortune to enter literary history as the man who failed to recognize Dickinson's genius, but in fact, after Dickinson's death, at the urging of her editor Mabel Loomis Todd, Higginson was instrumental in getting Dickinson's "verse" (as it was condescendingly called) into print. At the time of their primarily epistolary relationship, however, through the 1860s, when Dickinson sent him more than one hundred poems for commentary Higginson was simply not discerning enough to rise above the conventional poetics of the day: he criticized Dickinson's metrics as "spasmodic" and attempted, with the good intentions of many an obtuse editor confounded by genius, to "correct" her experimental rhyming and syntax. Dickinson dealt with this disappointment by retreating from any active hope of seeing her poetry published, let alone appreciated; her refuge, and her strength, would lie in the subversive strategies of anonymity, invisibility, self-reliance. The poet is indeed, and ideally, "Nobody." Rejection is transposed into defiance: "I'm cededI've stopped being Theirs" (508, ca. 1862). And, in images that conflate poet and female: "They shut me up in Prose/ As when a Little Girl/ They put me in the Closet/ Because they liked me 'still'" (613, ca. 1862).
The poet goes farther, to suggest a radical distinction between two sorts of consciousness, two species of human being:
Best Witchcraft is Geometry To the magician's mind His ordinary acts are feats To thinking of mankind. (1158, ca. 1870)
The witch-poet is the magician of words; ironically, another of her guises is that of a woman of her time, place, and social class. Look for her and she iswhere?
I hide myself within my flower That fading from your Vase, You, unsuspecting, feel for me Almost a loneliness. (903, ca. 1864)
In characteristically bold imagery, the poet defines her repressed imagination: "My Life had stooda Loaded Gun/ In Cornerstill a Day/ The Owner passedidentified/ And carried Me away" (754, ca. 1863).
It is believed that Dickinson wrote as many letters as poems, of which approximately 1000 remain. The letters are as elliptical, rich in imagery, and as teasingly coy as the poems; here is part of a letter of 1862 to her literary friend Samuel Bowles, of the Daily Republican, at the time suffering from ill health:
Dear friend. Are you willing? I am so far from Landto offer you the cupit might some Sabbath come my turn Of wine how solemnfull! . . . While you are sickweare homesickDo you look out tonight? The Moon rides like a Girl through a Topaz TownI don't think we shall ever be merry againyou are ill so long When did the Dark happen?
Dear friend.
Are you willing? I am so far from Landto offer you the cupit might some Sabbath come my turn Of wine how solemnfull! . . . While you are sickweare homesickDo you look out tonight? The Moon rides like a Girl through a Topaz TownI don't think we shall ever be merry againyou are ill so long When did the Dark happen?
Dickinson discovered, in adolescence, her distinctive voice, and the energies out of which she writes both poetry and prose are inclined to be romantically adolescent and rebellious; at once self-effacing and self-declaring. The air of deprivation that typifies the angrier of the poems is really self-deprivation, though attributed to other sources. Hungerliteral? sexual? a hunger for the manly attributes of freedom and poweris a familiar motif of the poetry, set forth in brilliantly compact images:
It would have starved a Gnat To live so small as I And yet I was a living Child With Food's necessity Upon melike a Claw I could no more remove Than I could coax a Leech away Or make a Dragonmove (612, ca. 1862)
"Gnat""Claw""Leech""Dragon": a child's inventory of monstrous forces to be exorcised; by way of the poet's witchcraft art, brought into control. For the poet is the "spider" as well, working at night in the secrecy of her room, unwinding a "Yarn of Pearl" unperceived by others and plying "from Nought to Nought/ In unsubstantial Trade"
Dare you see a Soul at the White Heat? Then crouch within the door Redis the Fire's common tint But when the vivid Ore Has vanquished Flame's conditions, It quivers from the Forge Without a color, but the light Of unanointed Blaze. (3 65, ca. 1862)
Literary fame is perhaps not the goal, but it seems to have been a subject to which the poet has given some thought: "SomeWork for Immortality/ the Chiefer part, for Time"(406, ca. 1862). And in a flight of speculative discretion:
Fame of Myself to justify, All other Plaudit be SuperfluousAn Incense Beyond Necessity Fame of Myself to lackAlthough My Name be else Supreme This were an Honor honorless A futile Diadem (713, ca. 1863)
Yet more wryly in this late, undated poem that might have been written by a poet who had in fact enjoyed public acclaim:
Fame is a bee. It has a song It has a sting Ah, too, it has a wing. (1763)
And what mysterious eloquence in this similarly late, undated poem, with its powerful Shakespearean resonance:
Fame is a fickle food Upon a shifting plate Whose table once a Guest but not The second time is set. Whose crumbs the crows inspect And with ironic caw Flap past it to the Farmer's Corn Men eat of it and die. (1659)
The poet's willed anonymity/invisibility in her art requires an ascetic paring back of all that is superfluous and distracting and merely "historical" (as opposed to "eternal"). Consequently, much of the external world, the "real" world one might say, is excluded from Dickinson's art; the national disgrace of slavery, the very fact of the Civil War, for instance, are not once named in her poetry though she was writing no less than a poem a day during the terrible years 1862-63. The very antithesis of the public-minded, war-conscious, rhapsodically grieving Walt Whitman! Dickinson never shied away from the great subjects of human suffering, loss, death, even madness, but her perspective was intensely private; like Ranier Maria Rilke and Gerard Manley Hopkins, she is the great poet of inwardness, of that indefinable region of the soul in which we are, in a sense, all one. This is an archetypal world where "Great streets of silence [lead] away/ To Neighborhoods of Pause"(1159, ca. 1891).
Measured against verse characteristic of her era, Emily Dickinson's poems constitute a kind of counterpoetry. Her miniaturist work is as radical and jarring as Cezanne's landscapes would have seemed to nineteenth-century eyes enamored of the enormous, sublime landscapes of Frederick Edwin Church, Albert Bierstadt, and the Hudson Valley School. Just as the adolescent Emily Dickinson dared to reject Christianity and, in a church-centered village society, declined to attend church services, so too in her art; trough she was exceedingly well-read in poetry (Shakespeare, Milton, Byron, Shelley, Goethe, the Brownings, Tennyson, Longfellow, Bryant, Emerson, for instance, as well as lesser, popular poets of her day), she rejected any semblance of orthodoxy. The very look of many of Dickinson's poems on the page is revolutionary: her seemingly breathless pauses and dashes, her odd, Blakean capitalizations, her disjointed phrases and radical variants of rhyme, rhythm, cadenceall point to a poet of unique, unnerving gifts. The signature Dickinson strategy of inverting syntax to call attention to perversities of meaning ("The most obliging Trap/ Its tendency to snap/ Cannot resist" [1340, ca. 1875]) has been traced by scholars to the poet's artful, sometimes playful, adaptation of the rules of Latin grammar for her own purposes. At times, Dickinson seems to anticipate the bold mimicry of childish speech and schizophrenic dreambabble that fascinated James Joyce in the latter part of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake:
This dirtylittleHeart Is freely mine. I won it with a Bun A Freckled shrine But eligibly fair To him who sees The Visage of the Soul And not the knees. (1311, ca. 1874)
Another "modernist" technique in Dickinson is the mimicry of quicksilver moments in which images, thoughts, sensations seem to fly through the poet's mind, recorded in the very instant of their manifestation: "The RedBlazeis the Morning/ The Violetis Noon/ The YellowDayis falling / And after thatis none" (469, ca. 1862). And, in its entirety this koanlike little gem: "The competitions of the sky/ Corrodeless ply." (1494, ca. 1880). Even in the finely chiseled, much revised longer poems there is a trompe l'oeil quality, a brilliant mimesis of the ephemera of thought passing through a mind of surpassing discrimination.
Despite the transparency of Dickinson's poetry, in which the "personal" casts but the palest shadow, as in the finely crafted prose of Henry David Thoreau, one has a vivid sense of turbulent emotions, passion, loss. If this is a species of confessional poetryand what intensely felt poetry is not confessional?it has been purged of all pettiness and self-pity; the poem becomes a vehicle of exorcism through the very precision of its language, as in the much-debated poem whose first stanza is "Wild Nights!Wild Nights!/ Were I with thee/ Wild Nights should be/ Our luxury!" (249, ca. 1861) but whose conclusion is wholly unexpected. Until fairly recent times in America, as elsewhere, premature death was not uncommon Nor was it, one supposes, invariably perceived as "premature." Dickinson was literally surrounded by death from childhood onward; the deaths of family members, relatives, friends, and Amherst neighbors; many of them, like her father's, unexpected, and never satisfactorily diagnosed ("apoplexy," the doctor decided). Then there were the slow sinkings-into-death endured by chronic invalids like Dickinson's mother, nursed by her daughter until her death in 1881 when Dickinson was fifty-one years old. Many of Dickinson's most austere, accomplished poems can be considered deathbed or graveside elegies, responses to individual deaths that make no references to the specific; the imagery of death's ceremonial inevitability is never far distant from her imagination: "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,/ And Mourners to and fro" (280, ca. 1861); "Because I could not stop for Death/ He kindly stopped for me" (712, ca. 1863); "I heard a Fly buzzwhen I died" (341, ca. 1862); "After great pain, a formal feeling comes" (341, ca. 1862); "What care the Dead, for Chanticleer/ What care the Dead for Day?" (592, ca. 1862); "I've seen a Dying Eye/ Run round and round a Room" (547, ca. 1862). The poet is both observer and participant; death is the greatest of riddles, the most profound of ironies:
To eyelids in the Sepulchre How dumb the Dancer lies While Color's Revelations break And blazethe butterflies! (496, ca. 1862)
Dickinson has written as frankly of despair and the terror of spiritual collapse as any poet who has ever written, but the poet's cri de coeur transcends personal anguish to forge convictions, or hypotheses, regarding the general fate of mankind; as in the extraordinary poems of her most fertile, prolific decade, the 1860s: "The Brain, within its Groove"(556, ca.1862);"There is a pain so utter/ It swallows substance up" (599, ca. 1862); "1 felt a Cleaving in my Mind/ As if my Brain had split" (937, ca. 1864); and, most terrifying of all, in the very grace of its utterance, "The first Day's Night had come" (410, ca. 1862). And what tranquillity of resignation, beyond tragedy, in this poem of two packed lines:
To Whom the Mornings stand for Nights, What must the Midnightsbe! (1095, ca. 1866)
And this heartrending aside, in the midst of an elegy:
Oh Life, begun in fluent Blood, And consummated dull! (1130, ca. 1868)
Yet there is a side of Emily Dickinson that is not elegiac nor even stoic and "profound"; her temperament was as much subversively playful as solemn, and even rather wicked, as in a number of her frankly funny asides on persons, customs, reigning orthodoxies she has observed. The first poem in this anthology, written when Dickinson was nineteen years old, suggests both her precocious skill as a young poet and her mordant sense of humor ("The worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride"); it demonstrates how confidently she could craft "verse" in swinging couplets. And how wise she was, to abandon the genre forever. I include it here, along with other of Dickinson's genial parodies and comic takes ("A Charm invests a face/ Imperfectly beheld" [421, ca. 1862]) and corrosive theological aphorisms (" . . . The Maker's cordial visage,/ However good to see,/ Is shunned, we must admit it,/ Like an adversity" [1718, ca. ?]) to give the reader a sense of Dickinson's generally unacknowledged variation of voice; and, of course, because the poems merit attention. It seems instructive to know that in the year of miracles in which so many of her great elegiac poems were composed, 1862, Dickinson was capable of a sly good humor:
What SoftCherubic Creatures These Gentlewomen are One would as soon assault a Plush Or violate a Star (401, ca. 1862)
(How intriguing to note that, in these lines, the poet distinguishes herself from "gentlewomen" as from another species; and fantasizes, as from a male perspective, their "violation"!)
At the last, on her very deathbed, it was the droll miniaturist Dickinson who contemplated her fate, composing a final letter that reads as a perfect little poem, a gesture of the gentlest irony:
Little Cousins Called back Emily. (May 1885)
Called Back was the title of a popular sentimental religious novel of the time, but it was, more significantly, a printer's term: printed material would be "called back" if typographical errors had been discovered.
There is no poet, and particularly no American poet, who has not been touched by Emily Dickinson. Like the flamboyant Dylan Thomas, though she is a far greater poet than Thomas, Dickinson is immensely seductive to young poets; one can admire her passionately, one can have virtually memorized any number of her poems, yet to be "influenced" by her is simply not possible. She is sui generis. To be influenced by Dickinson, as by Dylan Thomas, is a fatal error. (Unless, of course, one is a poet of genius oneself, like William Carlos Williams. Or, in her own mordant way, Sylvia Plath.)
I began reading Emily Dickinson as an adolescent, and have continued through my life; her work retains, for me, the drama and "white-hot" intensity of adolescence, like the work of Henry David Thoreau. Certain of Dickinson's poems are very likely more deeply imprinted in my soul than they were ever imprinted in the poet's, and inevitably they reside more deeply, and more mysteriously, than much of my own work. For the writer is, as Dickinson's poet persona suggests, a creature forever in motion, calculating and breathless at once; casting out demons, joy, gems, "profundity" in skeins of language, then moving restlessly on. Her work, if it endures at all, can only endure, in Auden's striking phrase, "in the guts of the living."
The Essential Dickinson is, I suppose, a personal selection yet not a private one. It includes the poems generally considered greatand they are many. It contains the much-anthologized; but it also contains the virtually never anthologized. Dickinson is one of very few poets whose work repays countless readings, through a lifetime. I am continually discovering poems I'd believed I knew, seeing them in a different light, from a different perspective. We return to Dickinson for that magical experience so famously described by Dickinson herself, in a letter to her would-be mentor T. W. Higginson:
If I read a book [and] it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only way [sic] I know it. Is there any other way.

IT network administrators are responsible for supporting groups of computers and other technology devices that are interconnected and communicate using different computer technologies, such as local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN). IT network administrators are responsible for both the hardware and software that is required to build, configure and maintain a LAN and/or WAN. They also troubleshoot the organization's network infrastructure when problems arise. Network administrators have knowledge and understanding of servers, firewalls and routers as well as a strong background in network design, implementation and network connectivity experience.

As IT Network Administrators transition into upper-level roles such as Information Technology Director, they may see a strong upturn in salary. Information Technology Directors earn $101K on average per year. When IT Network Administrators are ready for the next step in their careers, they often become Information Technology Managers or IT Senior Network Administrators. Those roles pay an additional $26K and $16K, respectively.
IT Network Administrators seem to require a rather large skill set. Most notably, skills in Microsoft Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server, Cisco Networking, and SQL are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include HTML, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Access. The majority of those who know Microsoft Exchange also know Microsoft Office and Cisco Networking.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
IT Network Administrators with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience have a median salary of $45K. Those who have been around for five to 10 years can expect to take home more — $51K on average. IT Network Administrators bring in $58K after working for 10 to 20 years. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $59K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.

Baby Einstein exposed?
Filed under: Work Life, Development/Milestones: Babies, That's Entertainment
The author of this web exclusive article on Mothering's site has done extensive research on Baby Einstein and their claims. Why? Because having a company tell her that her baby would develop better by watching these videos just didn't sit right with her. And she found out some pretty interesting things, like studies to debunk claims that Baby Einstein's Language Nursery can help teach your child another language.
So what is the author saying? That no video can ever take the place of human interaction in a child's development.
Her answer to video as babysitter is to instead involve your kids in whatever task you are doing, as a helper. And I
think this is a good suggestion once your child reaches a certain age.
Overall, the author's
message is to tell moms they don't need to feel pressure from multi million dollar companies to be a different type of
mom than their gut tells them to be. And any advice that tells you to listen to your gut as a parent is worth its
weight in gold.

kate said...THANK YOU for posting this link - I'm totally behind this questioning of these "early learning" products that are really taking advantages of our insecurities. But beyond agreeing with the issue with educational videos, etc. - there was another interesting section to the article that focused on how to involve your child in your household work, and how to find patience to allow child to work along side of you, instead of being "entertained" in another room. I found this really inspiring.
Kate said...Right on. We didn't have any of the Baby Einsteins until Morgan turned 1. Although I had friends who swore by them, I was always suspicious of the claim that they were anything other than a 20 minute break for mom. Morgan got two of the videos about animals for her first birthday and she really really enjoyed them, but I think any "learning" happened because we were reinforcing the same concepts (animal names and sounds) in other parts of her day as well. I don't think the Baby Einsteins or other "educational" videos are necessarily harmful (used sparingly) but they're not going to turn your baby into an Einstein, either. (And I won't even get into the new Disney channel show "Little Einsteins" which is the Baby Einstein upgrade. I have VERY mixed feelings about that one! :-))
Tara said...I have 16 month old twins and we're following the TV guidelines from the American Acadamy of Pediatrics. NO TV UNTIL AGE 2. It works for us. They don't watch TV at all. They play with their toys. Imagine that! They are also book worms. Even at 16 months they have favorites and can pick a book out from the bookshelf when I ask them to get a certain title. I am a SAHM so I read to them a lot! Baby Einstein also makes flash cards. We got them as Christmas gifts. I really like the animal ones. They have photos of animals (not cartoons) and the cards are laminated (babyproofed!). It's really a glorified book that ends up in 24 pieces on the floor instead bound by a spine. But the kids enjoy them.
Mandie said...Baby Einstein, and the rest, home videos may or may not have boosted my childs learning but I beleive it helped ME boost her learning. Twenty something no teaching degree suddenly facing a wee one, I did need guidance on where to start.
Kate said...Oooh, Tara, we love the animal flashcards too! Morgan walks around with them like they are her pets. She's all "This is my lion! Say "rrraarrr" lion!".
Nancy Toby said...I have some of the Baby Einstein DVDs and they're slightly better than just turning the TV on to PBS, but what I find REALLY REALLY annoying are the commercials they now include for their other products, which are difficult to get around when you load the DVD.
Sabrina said...I used to be really anti-TV too, but I'm a SAHM, my husband works a lot, and I have very little support. My daughter naps for an hour or so a day, and if you do the math that leaves me with about eleven hours to fill. She'll play independently for ten minutes or so, but TV is really the only way I can get anything done around the house, take a shower, or get a break. I don't delude myself that Baby Einstein is beneficial, but I also refuse to feel guilty about it. She is developmentally on target for her age, she loves books and music, and we spend time outside almost every day.
Maureen said...I never thought that these videos would boost my child's intelligence, but I do use such short videos almost every evening while I make dinner. My kids get about 20 minutes of tv time and I get to cook dinner in peace. My husband is gone from about 7:30 - 7:30 and I start going mad at about 5:30. The thought of allowing my 1 and 3 year old to help me make dinner when they are already getting tired and hungry makes me shudder. I feel no guilt about turning on baby newton, winnie the pooh or some other such short video while I prepare a meal. When the kids are a bit older, perhaps they will be put in charge of setting the table and washing up on their own while I prepare dinner.
Ms. Mama said...I liked the sound of no TV till 2, till my daughter was born, and I realized sometimes mom just needs a break. I do not believe that Baby Einstein will make my baby smarter (who would!), but I do put it on a few times a week when I just need to breathe. My daughter is 9 months so having her help with the chores is a bit out of the question still, and since she naps very little I sometimes just need to have 20 minutes where she is not needing me with her or trying to get into everything. She loves the videos and I love the few minutes it gives me...
Jen said...We use the Baby Einsteins as the 'before nap' video (daughter is 3.) The music is soothing on most, and they're nice and short. However, I am hard pressed to think of a damn thing she may have learned from any of them. Not to mention the creator's kids plastered all the hell all over the place.
And the Language Nursery? We've been trying to figure out how the hell that one makes any sense. Native speakers are great and all, but there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to it.
rebecca said...I'm currently reading a book titled, "Einstein never used Flashcards" (Sorry, I didn't know how to underline the title using the comment box.) The main point the authors seem to be making is how unnecesary it is for us to "schedule" learning time using "artificial" learning tools. Kids are learning all the time and they do not need a video to make that happen. The authors do not vilify parents for using learning videos as entertainment, but rather warn parents against thinking the videos are acceptable substitutes for what parents naturally teach their kids on a daily basis.
Meredith said...Just by reading several of the comments above, I wonder how many parents who purchased these really so think that their child is gaining some sort of educational edge if they watch them. It sounds to me as if everyone who has them and uses them just does so because they have the ability to catch the eye of an infant/toddler.
I do not delude myself that these made my child a smarter baby. But I will say that she had been known to hum the tunes from Little Einsteins over and over and I don't know many other 2 yr olds that know what a wombat is.
Although she isn't going to be winning any awards for super intelligence from watching these, I pick these over SpongeBob anyday. Since it isn't realistic for me to have a no-TV household until she goes to college, I would rather opt for these.
tom said...Have you people tried Classical Baby from HBO (you can find the DVD's on Amazon)?
It's 1,000,000 times better than Baby Einstein. Cute cartoons and great selections of music. Highly Recommended! I can watch them for hours :-)
Stacie said...I prefer Classical Baby on HBO, too (and if you have Tivo you don't have to buy, buy, buy - those Baby Einsteins are expensive. Also, I bought one when my baby was itty bitty - personally, I thought the quality was not so good - I could make the same video and play my own music in the background.)
Sometimes I think things like Baby Einstein are just a status quo kind of thing - if that's the case then I'm must not be up to par.
Jan Siplon said...I hope I'm not double posting but I didn't see my comments...
I, by no means, think that Baby Einstein will make my kids smarter. However, I do think that having 20 minutes or so to just "be" is perfectly fine. What is wrong with some pretty pictures, cute animation and nice music? I have a 5 year old that happens to think that the new Little Einstein cartoon is pretty cool. Here is a preschooler surrounded by kids who pretend to shoot guns, "kill" their opponents whatever and he likes to watch these little kids have adventures into Art and Music History! And when he tells me that the music we are listening to in the car is Allegro...well that is pretty nifty as well. Having said that, he has been read to since he could sit up and loves books like nobody's business. Everything in moderation is my mantra.
Carrie said...I don't believe any television watching is educational. Course, I don't think everything a child does should be "education". Sitting and staring into space is good for a kid's brain. ;)
But, Tv takes the place of activities that are far superior- time spent with family, reading, talking, games, etc.
I have 4 kids and a hubby who is gone from 6 am to 8 pm 5 days a week, sometimes more so I understand needing a break. Sometimes I load everyone in the car so noone is pulling on me. Or I shoo them outside to play in the yard while I have a cup of tea.
As far as the dinner hour, my kids either help or they play while I cook. They watch little TV. Since there are 4 of them, they entertain each other an awful lot!
Karen said...I agree with those who are writing that they don't expect any great educational benefit from Baby Einstein. There's nothing wrong with something just being entertaining. And it's great if that something is not annoying to Mommy.
Since a few others have listed other favorites, here is my son's: Jack the Cuddly Dog. Mostly actual nature footage (no puppets!), nice soothing music, lots of dogs, and an animated puppy that pops in and out. There's a clip at http://www.jackthecuddlydog.com.
I do try to involve my son with chores, but sometimes I just want to make dinner (or go potty) all by myself, and if a video makes it easier, I'll turn on the vcr!
Wynne said...Hi~I'm just reading everyone's comments about baby DVDs, and have some opinions as well. I think that companies shouldn't tout themselves as making a baby smarter, because it preys upon people's fears that their child will be left behind.I think that moderation is the key to everything in life.I created a baby dvd entitled "The Baby Society", and would never presume or try to persuade people that it will make their baby smarter. That's why I stayed away from using a title that would imply anything related to intelligence. I think that babies should be stimulated through a variety of means, including books, toys,baby games,videos, one on one interaction, and environmental stimulation (taking your baby out while shopping,etc.) There are so many valuable methods for stimulating and encouraging language development all around us. My feeling, for what it's worth is that babies do get bored, and being able to explore their world through a variety of means,(including well-chosen videos) seems perfectly fine! They can be just as interactive for parents and babies as a book, or flashcards. When you market a product, you definitely have to highlight what you feel are the beneficial aspects of that product whether it's educational value, entertainment value or whatever. So..in defense of baby video companies I think they should be able to mention what their value is, but as a society we should stop placing so much emphasis on "making babies smarter", and spend more time making them well-rounded and happy!!
Pamster said...I wasn't crazy about Baby Einstein videos since there really aren't any stories to them for kids to follow and nothing much to learn from except to just pass the time while sitting there staring at the screen.
To me the videos just seem like video mobiles. However I do like the flash cards.
Vered said...My son is almost 12months & he has been watching the Baby Einstein DVD's since he was three weeks old.
As a mum who suffered severe PND I found (& still do) the break a blessing. I know he will be entertained & happy while I have a break/rest.
Are they educational? I don't know. But, I don't think they're bad for him. I only allow him to watch one DVD per day, if that...his favourites are Baby Van Gogh & Baby Beethoven!

Scraps, scraps, scraps! If you create fiber art, fabric scraps are a way of life. Too pretty (or expensive) to throw away, too many to keep contained. They must be good for something!
Over the years, I've had the pleasure and privilege of collecting or repairing vintage and antique quilts. Most of the time, these ventures filled me with joy. Occasionally, there were disappointments. But always, I learned something.
Today is Thanksgiving Day in the U.S., a day when we gather with family and friends, stuff ourselves with traditional foods (or their vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium versions), and reflect on what we are thankful for. Some of us also watch football.
Whether you are preparing for a craft or art fair or you want to get a start on quilted gifts for the holidays, it pays to get organized. That way, you won't be swamped as the deadline approaches, and you'll have more time to enjoy your customers or time with friends and family.
Why did I ever take up quilting? Necessity! I was 16 years old and redecorating my impossibly small bedroom.
One of the artists who taped "QATV" segments and a Workshop was Diane Rusin Doran. I was especially taken with the techniques she will teach in her Workshop: awesome hand dyed-fabric effects with digital imagery. Diane created gorgeous fabrics you would think were made in a dye studio-but were all done digitally.
Usually when hand-dyeing fabric you're trying to put color in. With discharge dyeing, your objective is to remove color in an artistic way. You can create patterns on fabrics using many of the same methods you would use for other surface design processes, including painting and shibori techniques.
If you've never hand-dyed fabric before, the process can seem intimidating. Yet learning how to dye fabric is not that different from learning how to cook. If you follow the recipe and take simple safety precautions, you will almost always end up with a feast of delicious color.
Want to stay cool with a hot surface design technique this summer? Learn How to Dye Fabric with Ice from expert Lynda Heines.
Our foremothers knew how to make a quilt using only what they had, from scraps of fabric to natural dyes. But, quilt making the frugal and eco-friendly way was easier for them:
On this Cyber Monday, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite digital products from the Quilting Daily Shop. If I didn't already have these inspirational and educational sources of quilting and surface design techniques, they would be tops on my wish list.
Maybe the most important lesson I've learned from Rayna is that rules and perfection are overrated—at least when it comes to surface design and art quilting. In fact, I think it's her laid-back attitude, coupled with a keen eye for color and design, that makes her such a brilliant artist.
I have a long history of finding, buying, hoarding, and using Japanese fabric. I can't bear to part with even the tiniest scrap. I am always looking to incorporate a piece in my patchwork projects.
A trip to Quilt Market is like time traveling to the future. And I'll tell you, the quilting future is filled with fabric. Specifically, the future is about how to quilt with your own fabric or fabric by a designer.
Last week, my colleague, friend, and co-conspirator Helen Gregory took over the reins as Editorial Director for Interweave's Quilt, Paper, and Sewing Group.

Abstract: | We consider a discrete sine-Gordon equation with a kappa phase shift. We analyze the stability of a lattice kappa kink which is the ground state of the system. The dependence of the localized mode frequency of a kappa kink on the topological charge is analyzed numerically and analytically. We show that there is a certain range of parameter values for the coupling constant and the phase shift for an internal mode to exist. A semianalytical calculation on the existence of an internal mode of a fractional kink is presented using the characteristic that a long wavelength phonon is perfectly transmitted at the appearance of an internal mode. We also briefly discuss another type of fractional kink that exists for any value of coupling constant. This fractional kink is stable in the weak coupling limit but unstable in the opposite one. |
